When enveloped by the icy silence
Of echoed heartbeats
And soft snowfall,
My breathing comes in rasps
Of peppermint toothpaste,
A taste of pure delight.

When metal meets pavement
Coated with resilience,
And untainted white,
There comes the sound of grating
Of nails against chalkboard,
And Sky creeps toward Night.
